kapil sibbalBy: shurkumishra | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 23:39:23 PM Reply | Forward i want to remind mr kapil sibbal about his and his party's role during kandhar hijjack.what was there role when the govt was pressurised from all sides.did they openly come and say that let what may happen no terrorist will be released.instead they were just enjoying the govt's helplessness.every body conviniently forgets the kidnapping of sheriff's daughter and realese of the the terrorist by vp singh and mufti mohd sayeed. which was the starting point of terrorism. kapil sibbal we know you are shameless.but still we hope you will do some introspection.you will better serve the country by not dong any thing and just sit at home and enjoy ur black money earned in black way

Blame gameBy: J.M.Manchanda | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 21:24:21 PM Reply | Forward With warring political parties and inefficient and corrupt politicians, one fears India will never be able to overcome terror. The people will have to rise as Indians only and defeat the petty games these politicians play. Did someone notice the large number of empty seats while teror was being debated in parliament? Do these members deserve to represent us? It is time MPs are paid on daily basis so that they learn to take their work seriously. Caught between TADA and POTA blame game, these Congress and BJP guys do not seem concerned about the nation.

MOTHER OF ALL BLUNDERSBy: ANIL KUMAR | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 18:33:53 PM Reply | Forward IF ONE STARTS COUNTING THE BLUNDERS OF THE PRESENT DAY INDIA. I FEEL THAT BIGGEST BLUNDER WAS DONE BY INDIRA GANDHI WHO BIFURCATED EAST PAKISTAN FROM WEST PAKISTAN NOW CALLED BANGLADESH. THE CREATION OF BANGLADESH HAS RESULTED IN CHAOS IN INDIA. FIRSTLY PAKISTAN STARTED A PROXY WAR AGAINST INDIA, WHICH RESULTED IN MORE DEATHS THAN THE TOATL WARS. SECONDLY, THEY STARTED FINANCING SIKH EXTREMISM. THIRDLY MILLIONS OF BANGLADESHIS CAME TO INDIA AND CHANGED THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF SO MANY TOWNS. THESE VERY MEEK LOOKING BANGLADESHIS HAVE DEPRIVED JOB OPPURTUNITY TO MILLIONS OF OUR OWN LABOUR FORCE. AND GOD KNOWS HOW MANY OF THEM ARE/WERE TERRORISTS. THESE LAWS WILL NOT HELP iNDIA UNLESS INDIA PLANS SURGERY IN PAKISTAN LIKE ÍSRAEL, RUSSIA DID IN GEORGIA. LIKE USA DID IN AFGHANISTAN.

do govern honestlyBy: kirit shah | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 15:33:44 PM Reply | Forward indians r watching the actions of the politicians. don't take the indian people for granted. everyone of the ruling or opposition has to see that they r there to administerate the country and not to indulge in mudslingging. do act for the betterment of the country and there is no way but to unite for the cause by all sections of the society.

Advani and released terroristsBy: s ramji | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 15:20:24 PM Reply | Forward Mr kapil Sibals response was v ery good and i find the media has got given the credit for the same. How opposition was ignorant of the provisions of the Patriot bill of US and the provision of UK terror law was well brought out by Mr kapial sibal. Also Advani was repeating again and again that absence of strong law was responsible for Mumbai attatck - Kapitl sibal has clearly pointed out that MOCCA of Maharashtra was much more stringent than POTA and that did not prevent Kasab from attacking Mumbai . So what is required is proper intelligence and enforcement. I feel the attack on Parliament was more severe and insulting the nation thean the Mumbai attack. If NDA had captured even one of the attackers alive - it would have nailed Pakistan in 2001 itself. instead of repeating the past incidents Advani would have been better off had he confined himself to the Bill its loopholes and improvements.

sonia - afzal , advani - kandhaharBy: kirit shah | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 17:45:09 PM Reply | Forward advani or bjp is accused of protecting masood but congress is being seen as protecting afzal guru so the general opinion is that bjp or congress both r power loving parties and we the people r burning our hearts.

admit error on terrorBy: Raj Singh | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 14:28:29 PM Reply | Forward THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN DENY THAT CONGRESS AND BJP BOTH FALTERED IN FIGHTING TERRORISM. WHETHER IT WAS CASE OF MR MUFTI SAEED'S DAUGHTER OR KANDHAR OR BOMB BLASTS AT DIFFERENT PLACES. BUT THANK GOD THAT GOOD SENSE PREVAILED AND BOTH PARTIES CAME TOGETHER TO PASS ANTI TERROR BILL. I WANT TO SAY THESE PARTIES/ PERSONS THAT WHENEVER WE ARE POINTING ONE FINQURE TO OTHER, WE ACTUALLY POINTS THREE OTHER FINQURES TO OUR SELVES. THIS IS THE TIME TO UNITE AND FIGHT THE TERRORISTS AT ALL FRONTS. WE HAVE TO SHOW TO WHOLE WORLD THAT BY SUCH A COWRDIACT NO ONE DEFEAT OUR SPRIT. WE INDIANS HAVE BECOME STRONGER AND MORE DERTIMINE TO FIGHT AND THROW OUTTHE FEAR OF TERROR FROM OUR COUNTRY. JAI HIND

It is a shame the PM do not think it is his gross failure.By: Ayyappa | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 14:12:13 PM Reply | Forward Congress stop fooling people by raking the Khandahar issue. There were 100 over people whose life was in question. There is absoultely nothing wrong in making the deal at that time. Kapil Sibal you will not know the pain as those people are not your relatives. The exchage of terrorists for Rubia Sayeed is the precursor to all these. That is unwanted, I even suspect it was a drama enacted by the MUfti Muhammed Sayeed family. The revoking of POTA by the UPA is proved to be a himalayan blunder. This govt inaction caused the death of many hundreds in India. The blame falls squarely on this govt. It is surprising the PM and the Defence minister did not resign aftre the debacle. Such shame less people in high posts.

HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT LIVES SAVED IN EXCHANGE OF ASHARBy: Aniyan | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 10:14:51 AM Reply | Forward IT IS GOOD THAT SENSE PREVAILED WITH THE UPA TO BRING A LAW AGAINST TERRORIST ACTIVITIES. WAS IT NECESSARY FOR THEM TO WAIT UNTIL NOW TO INTRODUCE IT? NDA EXCHANGED ASHAR TO GET THE PLANE RELEASED FROM TERRORISTS. HUNDREDS OF INNOCENT LIVES WERE IN DANGER AND THERE WAS A BIG PEOPLE MOVEMENT IN DELHI URGING THE GOVT. TO GET THEIR RELEASE. NDA DID NOT RELEASE THE TERRORIST IN EXCHANGE OF ANY OF NDA LEADERS DAUGHTER, AS DONE BY MUFTI MOHD SAED; FOR HIS DAUGHTER NOW TO RELENTLESS SHOUT AGAINST THE INDIAN UNION !! KABIL SIBAL AND OTHER CONGRESS LEADERS SHOULD TELL THE PEOPLE IN PUNJAB AND ELSEWHERE THAT WE DID NOT WANT YOU TO BE ALIVE; BUT WE WANTED ASHAR ONLY.

Prick yr memoryBy: Ali | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 14:04:58 PM Reply | Forward When Mufti's daughter was released, BJP was a supporter of the National Front Government under VP singh. Prick yr memory.

Kapil sibalBy: vik | Thursday , 18 Dec '08 9:26:04 AM Reply | Forward Kapil Sibal you are a lawer. Don't behave as lawer in parliament. Learnt from experience. But not U turn. What is the difference? First learn to accept the mistake. Everyone in India knows your government made a big mistake. You are responsible for all terror attacks. Don't argue like lawer in parliament.
